Robotics is an extremely multidisciplinary field that incorporates ideas from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and beyond. Roboticists must consider aspects of systems from mechanical design to planning to understanding the needs of people who interact with robots; as such, the broad range of skills needed to be a roboticist makes it both a challenging and enriching field for many undergraduates. Despite this appeal, obstacles often interfere with undergraduate participation in robotics research, including lack of robotics infrastructure at home institutions and access challenges for groups of students who are underrepresented in engineering. Further, the research itself (which works with actual robotic systems in often real-world and/or long-term settings) is essential for robots to find adoption in day-to-day use cases. This project seeks to continue the successful “Robots in the Real World” REU Site for a fourth iteration, making updates to particularly address the above diversity and inclusion topics, update methods for program applications and evaluations, and add a final presentation symposium.Undergraduate students at this REU Site will work on active research projects, contributing to new findings in a wide range of robotics research areas, from modeling robots to understanding human psychology as it applies to interactions with robots. The summer project work will fall under the domains of Oregon State University robotics faculty and affiliates, and all projects will focus on robotics research contributions that involve physical robots deployed in real-world settings. These projects include (but are not limited to) human-robot teaming for science exploration, robot-assisted older adult care, and next-generation robot grasping. The REU student experience will involve formulating and pursuing robotics research questions under the supervision of leading faculty in one of the top robotics programs in the country. Historically, over 50 program participants in this REU site have co-authored peer-reviewed academic papers that advanced the state of knowledge in the field based on their summer research.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

Robotics是一个非常多学科的领域，它结合了机械工程，电气工程，计算机科学以及其他地区的想法。机器人必须考虑从机械设计到计划的系统的各个方面，以了解与机器人互动的人的需求；因此，作为机器人主义者需要的广泛技能既使其成为许多本科生的挑战，又是丰富的领域。尽管出现了这种出现，但障碍通常会干扰本科参与机器人研究，包括在家庭机构缺乏机器人基础设施以及对工程中代表性不足的学生的挑战。此外，研究本身（与实际和/或长期环境中的实际机器人系统一起使用）对于机器人在日常用例中找到采用至关重要。该项目试图继续进行第四次迭代的成功“现实世界中的机器人”网站，以特别解决上述多样性和包容性主题，更新程序应用程序和评估的更新方法，并在此REU中添加最终演示研讨会。在此REU上，学生将在该领域进行研究，从而使人类的新发现在Robot的研究中，从而使Robot的新发现构成Robot范围，从而建立了Robot的范围，从而使Robot的范围构成了范围的范围。机器人。夏季项目工作将属于俄勒冈州立大学机器人学院和分支机构的领域，所有项目都将重点放在涉及现实世界中部署的物理机器人的机器人研究贡献上。这些项目包括（但不限于）人机探索，机器人辅助的老年人护理以及下一代机器人研究问题的人类机器人团队，在该国顶级机器人计划之一的监督下。从历史上看，该REU网站中的50多名计划参与者共同撰写了同行评审的学术论文，这些学术论文基于他们的夏季研究提高了该领域的知识状态。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。本奖项奖反映了NSF的法定任务，反映了通过评估范围的范围，并通过评估范围来进行评估范围。
